How Bedfordshire times work
One entry standard per event and age. Meet it and the swimmer can enter.
The standards are short course times, printed to tenths. The checker converts 50m pool times to 25m with Swim England's published method, so treat 50m results as approximate.
Not yet confirmed for 2027: The 2027 entry pack isn't published yet. Converting 50m times follows the 2025 pack.
Full times tables
25m pool times unless the table says long course. A dash means the event isn't offered to that age group.

Questions
Their age on 31 December 2027, even though the championships are in early 2027. A swimmer born in 2014 swims as a 13-year-old; 10 and 11-year-olds share the 10/11 age group.
On swimmingresults.org: use Individual Best Times and enter your child's Swim England membership number. Each best shows its date and meet, so you can check it falls inside the qualifying window. You can paste that page into the checker to fill in the times.
The county your club is affiliated to, not where you live. Most north and west London clubs swim in Middlesex, east and north-east London clubs in Essex, and Buckinghamshire is split between Berks & South Bucks and Oxfordshire & North Bucks. If in doubt, ask the club.
